Blue Door

In 1998, Beverley Kingston, a parishioner of Nativity Church, recognised the value of donating surplus household effects to be made available to people in need. This idea led to the opening of  Marlborough's first recycling shop - The Blue Door.

The Blue Door is committed to:

• Helping those in our community who are struggling financially - through the donation of goods;
• Protecting the environment by encouraging the community to recycle, reuse and restore (rather than get rid of) unwanted goods; and
• Paying it back to the Marlborough community by providing financial grants to community organisations for charitable purposes.

Profits from the Blue Door are given back to local not-for-profit organisations in need of extra funding, such as The Marlborough Community Foodbank, Nativity Christian Counselling Service, John’s Kitchen and many other community groups.
